long wearing, great traction!

Keep this tire on a separate wheel for trail riding has been used on three different bikes two 450's and my 500 and even used in two hare scrambles and shows very little wear. Great for rocky hard pack single track!

Worst tire I've put on my bike

I decided to go for something new and different. I love Michelin in terms of sticky handling, but was concerned about their seemingly quicker than expected wear. Dunlop gave me the most durability and good traction but tended to slip out sometimes. So I thought I'd give the Pirelli Scorpions a shot. Bad decision. Two rides in and the back tire soon will need replacing likely after a third. Under heavy throttle, it breaks loose far sooner than any tire that's been on the bike, even the Bridgestones that came stock. Front tire gets better marks in terms of handling, and is wearing better than its rear counterpart. But neither tire comes close to the sticky feel of Michelins nor the great combination of good traction and bulletproof durability of the Dunlops. Save your money and skip the Pirellis. Every other tire I've had (Michelin, Dunlop and Bridgestone) is a far better buy and provides way more bang for the buck.

Was good for 3-4 rides. That's about it.

Great cornering traction. Good durability through knarly AZ single track. Fair price as always. Game. Set. Match.
Less than 100 miles, started blowing off side knobs. Cornering traction was also greatly reduced. Back to the michelins for front tires.
